I have had a very adventurous life and have done a lot of stupid things in life and here they are.

1. Around 1992 or sometime then, One of my friends was getting married in a Punjab and around that time terrorism was still little bit left, Pillion riding was banned, so we went on our own bikes, reached the venue it was a late night wedding, enjoyed a lot had lots to drink, were all tipsy, someone decided let’s go back.. So off we went. On way back there was a roundabout on a GT road, usually you go around left, for some reason it was decided we go around the right side. As we did that OH MY GOD…

God knows from where these Punjab Police Commandoes came, we could hear the click click of the rifles getting cocked… Get down… On the floor… It was scary… DAMN… We became sober in a second.

Thank god we were not shot, we had to plead the officer, show him our flying I-Cards to convince we were just playing around. They made us sit there for an hour before letting us go.

2. Final year exams, one of my friends decided to steal a empty answer sheet, so it could be used for cheating in the exam, I and Ravi my best friend went to the examination hall sat on the very first desks, next to the door… as the invigilator placed the answer sheet on first desk, Ravi got up, ran clutching the sheets, I ran after him, the teacher behind us shouting catch catch.. I was running after Ravi to make sure no one comes near because if caught this is a criminal offence and could be rusticated from university. It is funny now thinking of it as Did the teacher not realise that even I have not returned back to the classroom.

3. On a nice Sunday morning four of us decided to go for a walk in the jungle (picture) behind sukhna lake in Chandigarh, No one knew the way, obviously we got lost, whatever food, water we had finished, tired in middle of the afternoon we reached a lake, for some odd reason it was decided to swim through it rather than go around it, Sunil a friend was asked if he knew how to swim, he said yes..

There we go, took our clothes off put them in a carrier bag, In we went…we were half way in when there was a big splash, Sunil had run and jumped inside.. He went in, then his head popped up… and again down… OMG he had lied to us… we dashed towards him, Now Sunil is a 6ft 3 inches tall Big guy, Power lifting is his hobby I mean he is HUGE, I got hold of him he grabbed me , almost dragged me in with him. I somehow managed to get free.

Luckily there was this tree , sunil held on to it for dear life. The other two had come, I swam out, We took off our turbans, tied them up , threw it inside and pulled him out of water, a funny thing before that happened we asked Sunil to jump back in water and let go of the tree and we will pull him out, he replies “NO I am fine here “.. he he he he

He would have died that day. Later we met a villager he told us “Sahib Woh to das haathi Dob hai”. Meaning it’s as deep as ten elephants standing on top of each other.

4. Second year in college, we thought we were the bosses of college by then, One day instead of going straight to college I went to my friend Babbar’shouse to go together with him, another mate Pummy was already there, as I entered they were pleased “oh good bikram you are here, we have a fight in university”, silly me didn’t even ask what it was, We went to our college to get hold of rest of the people.

I and one friend planned to go to uni to have a recce, to see what was going on, as we entered uni, next to the Gandhi Bhavan we saw a Big MOB, 100+, tall Strong, Sikh men standing. I looked like a kid in front of them, we did not take any notice of the guys at that time, One of the guys in them was my Chachu’s(uncle) best friend, I stopped to say hello to him, as we talked I asked him what are they doing as they studied in Punjabi university Patiala, his words were some idiots have threatened and challenged us to meet up here for a fight, OH MY GOD.. then it hit me ..

Then I realised they were the guys with whom Pummy had picked a fight. We were only at most 8 or 10 guys they were it seemed 100+. Never felt so alone in life, I quickly told him it’s us people who they were waiting for, I made up a story that I had asked my chachu to come too, so his friend said why, what’s the need since I was the nephew no need to fight, a compromise was reached. It was decided to get Pummy so he can shake hands on it, This guy got his car asked us to sit to drop us at our college gate, Believe me when I sat in the back seat I could see BATONS, SWORDS, HOCKEY STICKS, various other stuff.

I thanked god I saw this guy otherwise we would have got beaten black and blue that day.

5. A funny moment of madness, GT ROAD, Punjab, NCC Vayu sainik Camp held in Patiala, middle of the night someone decided we should run away from camp go for a walk, many of us got together, eloped into the night.

On to the road ANOTHER BRILLIANT idea struck someone lets walk naked on the main highway… Now imagine a group of boys, Naked, walking on the Grand Truck with cars blaring horns… the truck drivers using their dippers to full effect… We did that for a laugh but now it seems to be a moment of madness.

So lets hear what you guys have been up to , I would love to hear about them all. Ok here are the rules those who take it up make sure you tag it to 5 people. That way We can have fun reading a few nice stories and re living those times , for even if they were moments of madness I bet now that you think of them they put a smile on your face.

thank you so much .. I am sure you will all it needs is a bunch of good friends one can trust .. and each one know their back is covered thats all .. have fun my friends lots of it for once life happens it becomes a bit difficult and priorities change too 🙂

An interesting TAG, will take this but mine may not be this much interesting bcoz i was never as MACHO and ADVENTUROUS as you were, rather i was a little COWARD and always used to be in my own shell…. 🙂

I think its a trait in punjab more like . if you have a argument people will say hold on … let me go and get my mates .. 🙂 and then a whole lot of people turn up to argue and fight , half of them dont even know what was the fight for or for who it is .. its like a friends friends friend 🙂

and goes to cities too i remmeber once travelling all the way to amritsar to sort out a problem a bus load of us had to go about 70-80 of us .. and till today i have no clue why i went or for who i went 🙂

thank you sandhya bhen.. you know this police thing was in rajpura , you rmemeber there use to be a GAGAN roundabout just after you cross the railway line going towards candigarh.. now they have put traffic lights there .. it was that roundabout 🙂

in my case…I don’t think I did any such remarkable thing…but I’ll surely write about my experience after completing my college as some experiences are yet to come in the next 6 months…the last 6 months of my college life… 😛

that was some crazy stuff I guess!lots of sheer madness,we as gurls never behave that way very innocent and docile …study and come back home ..:)listen to parents ..get good grades attend all classes 😉
wink wink!

right here we go .. The answer sheet is a booklet with 16 sheets, if you remove the first sheet which holds the roll number and all then you have empty 14 sheets 🙂 so we ran out with the answer sheet , now we have one that can be used. Also in punjab when the question paper comes , it comes in three languages punjabi-english-hindi.. so imagine exam starts , you throw the english version of Question paper out of the window.. there is alreayd a sheet outside , someone can write the answers for you ..

end of exam time you get up to go to the loo, the person hands you a written answer sheet, you go back , Unstaple the booklet put the one filled with answrs staple it again and hand over .. keeping the empty sheets AGAIN for next exam ..

How is that for the idea

the reason why we did not come to class , well it was not our subject exam that day 🙂

I did one stupid thing when I was in sixth standard. I got a new cycle and without heeding to my parents warnings, I went to the main road. It was a highway (some distance from our house) and lorries were going in full speed. I was in the middle of the road (trying to cross it) and waiting for a lorry to cross. When it came near, I suddenly ran across the road (with the cycle) and the lorry just missed me! It was going so fast that the driver couldn’t think of stopping anywhere near! I was terrified of this incident and it was a while before I ventured into main roads again. But I was quite close to being crushed that day 🙂

yes IHM , it was good in the next exam n .. when question paper came .. it is in three languages english-hindi-punjabi you throw one version out for your mate to write the answers.. and then you exchange it for the one you have in the room 🙂 you still got one 🙂

ROFL!! Bik, you are a total psycho!! 😆
I never thought I’d be saying this, but I’m so glad I know you!! I am proud to have one friend whose life is so eventful….I can get him to attend any party and be the centre of attraction coz of the stories!! 😀 😀 LOL
If I want to get anyone beaten up, I know whom to contact 😉 😀

Jokes apart, I am glad u joined the police force. That kind of might and a free spirit…is very hard to channelise in the right direction. But in ur case it all worked out 🙂

Thank you so much,, dont know about deserve or not .. but would have been nicer if it had not happened would have been more happier rather would have been happier had it not even startted … I am doing great though now ..

Ha ha ha 🙂 Too cute!
You’ll be the one of the first people I meet up with when I land up in the UK! Pukka! 🙂 We are planning a trip for hopefully next summer… (2013). Provided the world doesn’t end before that!! 😛

There was a jungle behind Sukhna Lake? And the last one…walking in the buff with dippers on…That is some daring Bikram. One of u should have made a video…Ha, ha…Bus yadein reh jati hain…good that you enjoyed and had fun.

well in those days there were no mobile fones and all and it was just a silly thing ot odo 🙂 dont know why yes there is a jungle and its beautiful , dont tell me you did not visit the kansal forest reserve .. it was said there are leapords and all ..

yeah as you said memories are left .. LIFE happens but I have been lucky when i go back to india my friends and mates all gettogether and do go about doing some of the things we did in good old days …

I remember one of my friend is a minister now , so we went after hood winking his guards and all to morni hill we had a fun time but when we came back , My dad and his dad almost slapped us for they put the whole of police on alert thinking something has happened and there we were having a fun time …

And I have read this post before.. and commented too.. cant find my comments though – but yeah… just one word I have for you – CRAZY in capital letters..!! just simple plain crazy. I guess you do know how to live life to the fullest.

What an interesting, flirting with danger, exciting life u have led…must be boring in propah Uk?
Why do guys have all the fun,,,I know nowadays girl have fun but not my generation…seedhi saddhi behenjis… Enjoyed this, glad i made an exception to the break..see you in two weeks. 🙂
P.S please stay warm in chilly Europe.

YEah it is boring here sometimes .. but a couple of my friends have come ot uk so when we meet we do some silly things. I dont know how to asnwer that question why do boys have all the fun..
and yes seee you 🙂 to Rek.

Well you only live twice and if we beleive in our mythology or whatever then we will die when we are supposed to .. so might as well take the risk and have some fun.. 🙂 my parents had a hard time when i was grwoing up ….

Wow! You were quite a ‘trouble maker’? And I bet you would never try some of these things now. Moments of madness. i have nothing interesting to share. Except maybe trespassing through an NCC compound to get to a hill that we climbed.

Oh yes i was. But we never troubled anyone we enjoyed and had our own fun .. trying them again well if my friends are with me then I will cause we trust each other with our lives … 🙂 trespassing throuhg ncc compund where when .. 🙂

so full of madness..u had the right set of friends to bring out the evil inside..so did i too,once upon a time,and we were all so mad,real mad…and now that you have got me into writing,i wil leave the link soon..thank you so much posting this and reminding me of those good times

Fantastic person, you were/are. Good and outspoken and bold.
I did two somewhat absurd things. Both of them self inspired. Maybe I was a little mad.
1) I begged for money in streets though I had money in my pocket. Inspired by Zen philosophy, actually.
2) This one is a good thing. I remember when I was in 10th I insisted to work in car mechanic shop during summer holidays. I was inspired by some children’s magazines. Yes, I did work for about 6 weeks or so 8 hours a day. I learnt tuning of carburettor, distributor etc. in old Ambassador, Fiat cars.
During my engineering days, I escaped severe ragging. (A thing I regret today). But I was friendly and did what a normal engineer student does. Drinks, movies and all. Nothing too bold !!

Hmm interesting the point 1 on begging that reminded me of something .. a couple of my friends did that it was funny how people reacted to them … and point two WOW.. so can i bring my old car to you he he heh 🙂

Ragging well I too was never ragged although we ragged a lot of people even seniors sometimes …

Good that you shared it here for us to read. Makes me think, when the adrenaline rush gets the better of you, you act completely crazy ;D. Anyways, its things and memories like this, which make our lives worth remembering by! 🙂

yeah thats true for sure .. its ok till the adrenalin is working but when the red mist takes over thats dangerous .. and in my kind of work can be really bad …
so true when you say that .. its memories I live on for sure as cant do much here alone ..all my mates are back home ..
